Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads his latest book and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new Misery novel, and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go anywhere. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and it does.
Auditions will be held Sunday July 9, 2023, at the Royal off the Square Theatre, 121 W Walnut St., Brownstown, and Monday July 10, 2023, at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Seymour. Auditions begin at 7:00 PM both days.
Auditioners are asked to prepare a monologue around 90 seconds in length, and also expect to read from the script. Also, please bring with you preferred rehearsal dates and any known conflicts during the rehearsal weeks.
Want to be involved in a show but don’t like being on stage? We will also need backstage and tech crews. If you have an interest in these, please let us know. Training provided!
